“Hello and congrats on your acceptance to UTCOM! My name is Rukia Yosuf and I am the Medical Student Council Vice President. I am from Nashville, TN so I had to go through the whole process to get in state tuition so this PSA is for all OUT OF STATE STUDENTS:
Make sure to have a lease signed by June to qualify for in state tuition your summer semester of M2 year. If you wait until July, you can still get in state tuition for the fall semester next year, but won’t qualify for the summer semester. You must have “lived here” 12 consecutive months to qualify for in state residency/tuition. You will want to make sure your application is submitted to the office of student affairs around April of next year because it takes a month to process. Submitting it early allows them to work with you to fix any errors you might have made so you can still submit it in time.
You’ll have to include things like your Ohio drivers license, lease agreement, copies of bank statements, utility bills, your tax returns or your parents proving you’re independent, voter registration etc. These are just things to keep in mind but the most important thing now is to make sure you have a lease signed for a June “move in.” Thank you and please reach out to the Office of Student Affairs for further assistance. They are super helpful and review all applications before submitting them to main campus to approve. Good luck!
